Traer memory lanes recall early school days and growth

Jean Speirs Helgeson recalls Traer memories from Grant township to high school days, teachers, buildings, and the 1900s town life. She details street views, carts, trains, the first library, church life, and family milestones before moving to River Falls and later returning for family events.

Traer Served by Several Jewelers Through Years

The town of Traer hosts a sequence of jewelers from 1888 onward. F B Shortess opened after purchasing L W Pierce’s stock, later passing to Theo Mueller and Philip Stuber before wartime service interrupted the trade. Albert Holub revived the shop in 1946 until 1958, then Harry Risvold, a 1950 graduate, took over with Carol and family support. A small cafe run by Mrs Les Long sits nearby, with a history of operators over two decades.
